if you kill him, you risk turning him into a martyr for white nationalists and Neo-Nazis. I think it is better off to let him grow old and die in prison, or arrange a 'accident' with a cell block full of black inmates.
Will he even be executed? Look at how many people are still alive despite being on death row (for example, Richard Allen Davis, who murdered Polly Klaas in 1993, is still alive).
